"I have two methods of painting… They are different, but the result is the pure soul of a dedicated artist."

"I am the son and grandson of great artists. When I was a boy, I never missed the chance to assist my father working in his studio. Drawing is a vocation that has always been in me, and I am an authentically self-taught person. I dedicated myself professionally to the arts and to illustration, working in an advertising agency. In 1996 I turned exclusively to painting.

"I love nature and enjoy perpetuating the beauty that I personally perceive in a picture, thus my predilection for realistic landscapes. The secret of my painting is in its luminosity. To create a beautiful landscape, it is necessary to find the precise tones. I have two methods of painting. Working on location, using light to best advantage, and working at night in my home, where I rely on my memory or even my imagination. They are different, but the result is the pure soul of a dedicated artist. Thus, my trajectory is unique.

"Throughout my career I have received innumerable compliments and held a number of exhibits, always representing the hidden beauty of Rio de Janeiro and marvelous Brazilian landscapes."

Buana

Bali and Java

Before his days with NOVICA, Buana sold his jewelry designs door-to-door in the tourist areas of Bali. Business was tough, and local store owners were often slow to pay. All this changed when he joined NOVICA 7 years ago.

Buana now employs 28 of his neighbors to keep up with demand, and can now afford to send both of his children to school.
